Recognising that human rights violations are being committed on a daily basis in Sudan, the Wayamo Foundation, the Africa Group for Justice and Accountability (AGJA) and the Aga Khan University Graduate School of Media and Communication hosted a public symposium on transitional justice and international criminal law on 19 May 2023, in Nairobi, Kenya.

Conversation – Lessons from the field: prosecuting international crimes in domestic courts

Domestic courts are essential in the fight against international crimes. Whether through universal jurisdiction or cases involving their own citizens, national justice systems are an important forum in which to pursue justice and demand that states abide by international norms. What makes for effective, impartial and independent accountability at a national level? What contributions have states made in this area?

Moderator: Linda Bore, International criminal justice lawyer and project coordinator, Wayamo Foundation

Experts:
– Tina Alai, Transitional Justice Advisor, Commission on Human Rights in South Sudan
– Tabitha Ouya, Head of Civil Rights Division, Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, Kenya
